<h4>Background</h4>The functions of many schistosome gene products remain to be characterized. A major step towards elucidating function of these genes would be in defining their sites of expression. This goal is rendered difficult to achieve by the generally small size of the parasites and the lack of a body cavity, which precludes analysis of transcriptional profiles of the tissues in isolation.<h4>Methodology/principal findings</h4>Here, we describe a combined laser microdissection microscopy ...[more]
